SophiTM is a state of the art MALDI benchtop Mass Spectrometer
facilitating the rapid identification of micro-organisms AND/OR performing
immunoassays that include proprietary approach and methodologies. Its novel
electronic and mechanical modules are embedded in a compact and robust design
generating the smallest footprint on the market.
The LEXI-MS® is a benchtop MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer optimized for
microbial identification. Its hallmark “Dynamic Focusing” ion optics deliver
high-resolution performance (3,000 FWHM) across the key microbial mass range
(2,000–18,000 m/z) without the need for manual detector tuning. Coupled with an
advanced discrete-dynode ETP detector, this system maintains consistent
sensitivity even at higher m/z values. Routine MALDI-source maintenance is
fully automated by the patented GreenClean procedure, eliminating operator
intervention outside of scheduled preventive maintenance.
A dual-output DPSS Nd:YAG laser (355 nm UV at >42 µJ and 532 nm
green at >10 µJ) operates from single-shot to 1,000 Hz with <5 % power
drift over six hours and pulse‐to‐pulse stability below 2 % RMS. The
instrument’s linear TOF design features a 50 cm flight tube allowing detection
in both positive and negative ion modes and an extended mass range up to
100,000 m/z. With a warm‐up time under five minutes and compact footprint (82.2
cm H × 67.8 cm D × 48.8 cm W), it balances performance and space efficiency.
Sample handling is streamlined via disposable LEXI plates (84 spots
each) and a magnetically locking, barcoded stainless-steel plate holder that
accommodates up to three plates (249 samples plus calibrants) with full
traceability. Loading three plates takes under two minutes, and the system
supports remote diagnostics over TeamViewer for rapid service. Together, these
features make the LEXI-MS® a powerful, user-friendly solution for
high-throughput microbial mass spectrometry.
